My dad was on his job for 22yrs and when it got time for him to retire they gave him a random drug for the first time and he failed it. Losing everything, it took my whole family to stop him from going to shoot the place up. A hard working man who never went to work intoxicated. It was a weekend thing to smoke pot. What happens at work if somebody gets hurt real bad and everybody goes to help them get an fatel blood trans mitted disease. What happens if somebody comes to work drunk and get a lot of people hurt. I believe in pre employmen drug test and post accidentle tests. Leave the rest alone. Leave me alone for i care for people, but i care for pot also.

whilst random assessments ideally appear like a sturdy thank you to maintain a drug-loose artwork area, somewhat the belief is wrong by using fact assorted situations the assessments are not random in any respect! that's what makes those assessments an invasion of privateness..... for the reason that no person somewhat is regulating inner maximum employers adminsitering random assessments, those employers can use random assessments as a gadget, manipluating the "randomness" to weed out (no pun meant) unfavorable workers. Furrthermore, some greater (lower back no pun meant) workers may well be purposely excluded from the assessments. right this is yet another state of affairs- are you able to think of in case you have been up for retirement after giving two decades of service to a employer and then unexpectedly being given a random drug attempt- it somewhat is a standard way for a employer to get out of offering you with're pension. till there are regulations that employers can't bend, so referred to as "random"-attempting out is unfair to the worker! besides, random-attempting out provides an income to drug consumers who take narcotics, heroin and extra durable drugs as those drugs regularly are undetectable after a pair days. whilst the occasional pot smoker can get busted smoking as quickly as in a blue moon. right this is one extra difficulty to chew on- variety of off-subject count yet oh properly- how the hell does a consultant basketball participant, who's a place kind for babies get suspened for a game or 2 for a great drug attempt???? whilst a common 9-5er attempting to assist a kinfolk, smokes a splash weed right here and their- gets fired! Oh yeah, it somewhat is acceptable, companies make the regulations haha

Yes, they are a serious invasion of privacy. If you test someone you reasonably suspect is under the influence of something, then good for you. But if you walk up to someone and say, "by the way, you need to take a drug test" then we have a problem.

So the moral of the story is, "wait until you are officially retired" before you light up the left handed cigs.

If it's an employment policy, no, it's not invasion of privacy. If you don't agree with the rules, don't work there.
